After discussions between the Brisbane Lions Football Club and the AFL in relation to an incident involving Tom Rockliff and North Melbourne’s Brent Harvey at the end of Saturday night’s game, Tom has decided to make a $1000 donation to a charity of his choice.

Tom has acknowledged he made an inappropriate comment to Brent last Saturday night and takes full responsibility for his actions.

Tom apologised to Brent on the field on Saturday night, and again yesterday by phone to make sure that apology was received – and Brent assured him that it was.

The Brisbane Lions remain committed to ensuring that all players behave respectfully and in line with club values at all times.

The AFL has been kept informed at all times and has informed the Brisbane Lions FC and Tom that it is satisfied with the action taken on this matter.
